KOTA KINABALU: A local man suffered only minor injuries after the Proton Saga car he was traveling in skidded off the road and plunged into a river estuary near Sutera Harbour Resort in Kota Kinabalu yesterday.
It is believed that the driver, in his 30s, was descending the Tanjung Aru flyover from Putatan and heading towards Sembulan when he lost control of the vehicle which then skidded off the road and plunged into the river, about 20 metres from the main road, around 10.30am.
A tow truck pulled the car out from the river before the driver was taken to hospital for outpatient treatment.
